New Openly-Licensed font: Rufscript

My friend Hiran Venugopalan, a very talented designer whom I met at FOSS.in last December, has just released a new GPL 3font-exception licensed font called Rufscript. It’s a handwriting font that would be really useful for comic strips and maybe labeling photos for a scrapbook.

What I really love about this font (besides how cool it looks!) is that it was created with a completely open source toolchain. Hiran used the GIMP, Inkscape, Font Forge, and GEdit to create this font.

Check out all the details and grab the font and font source for yourself at Hiran’s blog!

While I share your enthusiasm about this font and will use in some personal projects, there is nothing innovative about this font, there are tons of proprietary fonts like it… and even some freely licensed. This one is just well done (at least at the first view).
